dc.description.abstractThe effects o f abiotic variables on the growth o f white bass Morone chrysops were examined using twelve years o f growth data from Canyon Reservoir, Texas. Air temperature had the greatest influence on growth. Air temperature influenced growth of adults and juveniles in inverse ways. Age 1 white bass displayed a positive relationship with September air temperatures while age 2 to 4 bass were negatively influenced by August air temperatures. Air temperatures in August, above 27° C, caused growth to drop in age 2 to 4 bass. With atmospheric temperatures warming, thermal tolerances could significantly inhibit growth of this species in these subtropical ecosystems.
